SUMMARY:
This is a Part 2 of 3 of a Semester-long Starter Russian language course for children who are just starting to learn Russian and have little to no prior experience. Contact me, if you are unsure what level your child is. To be enrolled in Parts 2 and 3, you need to successfully complete Part 1. 


In this course, children will be speaking, reading and writing in Russian from the start. 
Children will have opportunities for speaking in Russian: together with the teacher, as a class, while working in pairs, and while playing games. Children will read short dialogues and words: in the Textbook, during classroom games, while completing tasks in their workbooks. Children will practice writing during classroom games and while completing tasks in their workbooks. Students will get exposed to proper grammar and will be encouraged to use it properly. 


COURSE PROGRESSION:
1. This class ----> Russian Language Course for STARTERS: Speaking, Reading and Writing. 

Next courses in the series:
2.  Russian Language Course for BEGINNERS: Speaking, Reading and Writing.

(Your learner may skip some courses if he/she can pass the entrance test: speaking, reading and writing. Entrance test may take an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes. Testing is done through my one-time tutoring class for $20 per each test).


TEXTBOOK AND WORKBOOK:
The hard copies of the Textbook and the Workbook could be obtained on Amazon and the electronic versions of the Textbook and the Workbook could be obtained on the author's website. If you are buying the electronic version, please, print the entire workbook as we will be working with it in class. All Textbooks come with audio files for additional studying. Occasionally, the teacher will send additional printouts for classroom use. 
Please note, that all Starter classes ( Part 1, Part 2 and 3) use the same Textbook and Workbook. 


CLASS PARTICIPATION and POLICY:
- Annotation: This class also uses the Annotation Tool in Zoom. When the teacher shares the screen and asks children to circle or find objects or write on the whiteboard, go to the Zoom's tool bar, select "More", and choose "Annotate" option. 

- Video: At the beginning of each class, according to the Outschool policy, all learners must turn their cameras on to be verified by the teacher. Students benefit more from this class by keeping their camera on at all times. It allows the teacher and other learners to track facial expressions and to establish good connection and communication. We share our work and play games that require learners to keep their video on. 

- Audio and Microphones: In this class we will speak a lot and practice speaking. I encourage everyone to keep their mics on. (I will occasionally mute some or all students if they have a background noise). 

-Cancellation: If there are less than 3 students enrolled in a particular section it will be postponed or cancelled. 

- Distractions: We all want our children to engage in learning, have fun and make friends. Please, ensure that your child is focused on the class and is not distracted by anything that can rob them of the learning experience.
